SOCIETY MAN.
Charge, Though >ot Unexpected, Again j

Aiken, April 8.?Frederick 0. Beach,
New York millionaire and society
leader, and one of Aiken's prominent
'winter residents, is charged with
1 roV* ? n or Vt'/i o-ifo'c fhrna* in this citV J
P11 I J-lfe jJJ? "?v several
weeks ago, a warrant being!
issued here todc.y for his arrest
This action revives interest in the
(mysterious assault on Mrs. Beach on
February 26, which it was generally
believd that her assailant was a negro.
The warrant charges Beach with as- j
eault and battery with intent to kill,
and was issued in the affidavit of Special
Detective M. S. Baughn, supported
by affidavits of several of his witmesses.
A deputy has gone to Columbia to
get requisition papers from Governor
Blease on the governor of New York,
and will go to New York city tomor

is stated that Beach has already sailed
from that city for Europe, his departure,
it is alleged, taking place two
weeks before his schedule, as announced
a few hours before leaving
Aiken for his home in New York.
In the event that Beach has sailed
for Europe, it is not known what steps
will be taken toward service of the
warrant.
Evidence Against Beach.
Detective Baughn, of Atlanta, has
been at work on the case just three
weeks, having begun an investigation
shortly after a Pinkerton man, who
failed to throw any light on the mystery,
ceased his efforts. "What Detective
Baughn considers a damaging
piece of evidence against Beach is the
alleged finding of a gold plated, diamond
studded pocket knife belonging
to the millionaire. It is also stated
that an examination of this knife by a
prominent chemist in this State disclosed
a quantity of human blood on
one of the blades. In addition there
is offered as evidence the phony pearl
earring, also covered with blood, and
the back comb, which, it is alleged,
fell from Mrs. Beach's hair when she
was stabbed. Both of these and the
pocketknife were found on the driveway
on the opposite side of the house
from the spot where Mrs. Beach said
tt-cjc. and directly adjoin
DiiC " UO O'l'^w-Vikv/v., . _
ing the laundry house, between the
Beach residence and the residence of
Joseph Harriman.
Doubt on "Wife's Story.
It was these latter physical facts
which first gave rise to doubt of Mrs.
Beach's statement, though the authorities
kept their finds; a secret for some
time, and not until today did it become
known that the knife had been
found. Therefore, tfrere w*as noining
to connect Mr. Beach with the attack
excpt comment based on surmise.
The investigation has been practically
completed by Detective Baughn
and the results have been placed in
the hands of Solicitor R. L. Gunter.
Special Agent Baughn came to Aiken
on March 16, just after the Pinkerton
man had abandoned the field. Evidently
the investigation was carried on
with the greatest possible dispatch
ovnprHfmnv. certainlv with a great
deal of secrecy, for ^ven now very fewpeople
are acquainted with the detective.
Rewards Offered.
Shortly after Mrs. Beach was attacked,
and after a fruitless search for
iher supposed .negro assailant, rewards
were offered for the apprehension of
the criminal. The rewards were increased
from time to time until now
there is outstanding a reward of $3,000
for the arrest and conviction of a man
"of medium height and illiterate."
According to detaails made knovn
subsequent to the attack, Mrs. Beach
heard a noise in front of her residence
on the night she was wounded. She
went into the yard to investigate and
was handed a note by a negro, who
seized her and slashed her throat with
a sharp weapon, inflicting an in:ly
wound. The alleged negro then dis
According to a statement attributed
to Mrs. Beach, the note handed to her
was signed by "Marie," said to be a
servant in the employ of Mrs. Joseph
Harrvman.
It is stated that Mrs. Beach formerlykwas
the wife of one of the Havemeyers.
The assault on Mrs. Beach and subsequent
charges against her husband
provide probably the greatest sensation
the city of Aiken has ever known.
ProhaMy on tfir- Oflicr Side.
New York, April S.?Mr. and Mrs.
Frederick Beach are believed to have
sailed for Europe on the steamer Mauretania,
which lefe here early Wednesday
morning last. Their names do not
appear on the passenger list of the
steamer, but it is understood they had
been at the pier not long before the
time of liner's departure.
The Beaches arrived here from ttie
South the latter part of last month
and. were at the Hotel Vanderbilt, in
this city, until Tuesday last, when
they left without announcing their destination.
At the hotel tonight it was
said that all the mail that had ar'
rived for them since that time was still
being held here, as they had left iio
forwarding address.
Tnoniric tonight as to the where
abouts of Mr. Beac hfirst developed
that Mr. and Mrs Frederick 0. Beach
had arrived here from Aiken about a
week ago, and instead of going to
their summer home on Long Island j
had taken quarters at the Hotel Van-1
derbilt. The only social function in j
whiVh fhpv -nflrtirirvatpd durinsr the!
week's stay was a little party which
they had in honor of their three sons,
who are in school here. This was regarded
as a farewell dinner, because
it was understood that Mr. and Mrs.
Beach planned to sail on the Mauretania
on Wednesday. Nothing wafe j
said about the couple's destination
abroad. j
Tuesday afternoon their baggage j
was ordered shipped to the pier and j

understanding that they were to board
the steamer. The fact that their names
do not appear on the passenger list
jwas not regarded as particularly unusual,
because a number of prominent
people avoid such publicity. Friends
here tonight said they were to go to
France, where it is understood they
j have many friends.
Manager Marshall, of the Vanderj
bilt, said tonight there was absolutely
| no mystery about the movements of
I the Beaches here. He understood, he
j added, that they liad sailed as guests
! of Mrs. Wm. K. Yanderbilt.
Mr. Beach was married November
23, 1S99, in this city. Wm. K. Yanderbilt
was best man. His bride was the
widow of Chas. F. Havemeyer, to
whom she was married in October,

count of their mutual fondness for

1899 they were married quietly. Only
a few friends were present.
